New hit: children are taught the robot the trick with a bottle

Members of the ROBOCON contest, held last week in Japan, has taught the robot the trick with flipping the bottle.

The trick is that a half-filled water bottle should do in the air for one turn and land on the bottom. The challenge gained popularity, including in the scientific community: in the past year, physicists have proven that the best way to focus good the bottle is filled with water 30%.

Participants ROBOCON – developers aged 15 to 20 years – taught robots and the classic trick and its variations. For example, one of the teams got the robot that “catapulted” bottle springy platform, and then she bounces off and lands on the bottom.
